Introduction
The company takes grievances seriously and will investigate them in an objective and factual manner.
This policy applies to employees, contractors and suppliers engaged with the company.
We believe the opportunity to raise a concern or issue is a key component of effective communication and we encourage external third parties to engage in dialogue on matters of mutual concern, in order to improve understanding and identify solutions to problems. Through such dialogue most issues of contention or dissatisfaction can be resolved early and without the need for a formal process.
However, on occasions this may not be possible in which event a formal procedure can be applied.
Informal Grievances
If an external person or body (third party) wishes to raise an informal grievance, relating to any individual within or engaged by the company, or the company in general. The third party raising the grievance has the option to contact the Managing Director of the company direct.
Alternatively, the third party can contact the Operations Director, who will escalate the grievance direct to the Managing Director.
Formal Grievances and Appeals
If a third party wishes to raise a formal grievance relating to any individual or in respect of the company in general, without first approaching the company.
